The seminar also covers the fine arts in terms of pasurams sung on Mamallai and the unique TDEF eco-system prevalent in Mallai area along with an appreciation of Sanskrit, satire, dance, song mixed with a unique presentation of Mattavilasa Prahasana, the dance drama composed by Mahendra Varma Pallava. Why you should attend thisThere’s an ocean of ignorance between the history and significance of Mamallapuram and its perception in the public mind. It was a laboratory of art and sculpture, an open-air museum patronized by a dynasty of dynamic monarchs, a granite canvas for Grantham calligraphy, a field of stone planted with immortal monuments by artists with fertile imaginations. It stands unique in its diversity of architecture. In grace, it has sometimes been equaled, but rarely surpassed. It was the epicenter of a cultural earthquake, whose aftershocks reverberated for a thousand years. Its impact spread across the land, and even crossed the oceans. But as subtle as the sculptures, are the unsolved mysteries it poses; about authorship, inspiration, incompleteness, paucity of literary references, even its influences and a later loss of imagination.
